Morocco Coach Says Scotland Win Was Better Than Brazil Draw
Morocco boss Mohamed Ouahbi declared his side's 1-0 victory over Scotland their finest performance of the tournament so far.
Morocco's head coach Mohamed Ouahbi made a bold claim after his side beat Scotland 1-0 in Foxborough on Friday, telling reporters the performance was even better than their well-regarded draw with Brazil earlier in the tournament, according to Reuters.
Ismael Saibari scored the only goal of the game, which Reuters note was the quickest goal of the tournament so far. The win put Morocco in a strong position in Group C as they look to build on their impressive recent World Cup record.
Ouahbi's confident assessment signals a Morocco side that believes it is growing stronger as the competition progresses. With Brazil also winning on the same night, Group C is shaping up as one of the most competitive at the 2026 World Cup.
